Paying players, f2p players, and more than Cryptic / NWI wants to admint about wiping the servers.
Cryptic / NWI, take the time today to go out and read some of the news sites, your game is in EPIC FAIL category of the year all over the place!!
Nice 7 hour roll back with a few thank you cards that wont amount to anything.
All over the inet there is proof of your knowledge of the exploits, the reports made about the exploits weeks ago, even on your own forums you removed posts detailing the exploits and had to post a thread dated back on May 11th telling people not to post about the exploits!
For you to come out and say that Sunday morning you guys found out about an exploit and had to shut down the servers is an absolute lie to our faces.
All the flame gear is on so go ahead and start your little remarks about how this is not the case and all that **** you guys put out here, but
I have one question for Cryptic / NWI, its the same question that most of the news sites are trying to find out right now, as quoted from them in these threads like this;
Why not wipe the servers if the public is asking for it, your game is still in open beta?
When the company(ies) come forward and answer that question, then perhaps this FUBAR can be put behind us!!
Oh, and here is a nice little editorial by a reputable reporter from a very busy game site;

Only half the forum is asking for it. Most players dont care. Most players dont come to the forums.
Exaggeration.

It will never happen....accept it or move on.
If they did a wipe they would lose more players than the few on the forums.
Also why make another thread when there are already many?>
He is actually talking about the community as a whole.. he stated to read the news sites etc.. not just the forum goers.. looking on twitter and facebook as well, you have those that are wanting it as well..
Leveling in this game isnt an issue since its so fast and easy.
They knew it was an issue but did nothing,,it seems to drive down the value of AD and dive up the value of Zen.
The only one saying things are fine seem to be the ones most affected by a wipe.
Nepht said it well, most players dont come to the forums, if you want to do your polls id say ask real players in game and not the ones that just want to come here for the popcorn and drama
Most of the people agitating for a wipe on twitter and facebook are the same ones doing it here.
The "public" is NOT asking for a server wipe. Over 99.9% of all statistics are made up on the spot including this one. Cryptic has already stated many times over that there will NOT be a sever wipe after Open Beta and release. Give it a rest already... The dead horse has already been kicked enough.

Because "the public" isn't asking for it - screeching forum howler monkeys are asking for it. Those are different things. The vast majority of people value their own time more than they value punishing every cheater everywhere in the game, along with themselves, in the vain hopes that this time no one's going to try to game the system, since that is a real thing that actually happens in online games.
The thing is, people who value their time are, by definition, very unlikely to visit internet forums.
Yes, i know its hard to believe that this community does exist outside these forums.. with social media and gamer sites all over, this news is spreading like wild fire!
Yes, I think that most everyone would agree with you on both counts!!
But those people don't support the argument and are therefore invalid! You have to accept news that follows the personal agenda of the OP or you are invalid! Didn't you learn forum etiquette yet?

^ Just leaving this in here for this thread too
Bottom line is, they have stated many many times there will be no wipe, so if that's not a decision you like, it's time to move on. All you need to do is log into the game right now, it's not even prime time US and the servers are packed, this game is far from dead.
If they were ever going to wipe, last night would have been that time. It's never going to happen.
It's as much an assumption to say that most players don't care as it is to say they do.
Let me see if I can find a calender, you refer to "months" when in fact the servers launched on the 30th... so your months reference is indeed 20 days, I just counted them for you!
I think its safe to say most players don't care about the economy most don't even know its an actual thing. Most just care about rushing to max level and raiding for what they think is "leet loot".
If there is a massive wipe and everything is set to zero most players will leave. Doesn't matter what each of us here thinks, our personal opinions matter not to the unwashed masses.

All very well and good discussing a wipe or no wipe but the fact remains they will not do a wipe.....never going to happen ever ever ever.
So why waste your time eh? accept it and support the devs or not.
Because the "public" that is asking for it makes up a small percentage of the actual user base...
Just because they are loud doesn't make them the majority.
I do not want, or see any need for, a server wipe.

Care to point out where I mentioned anything about a wipe?
Let your life proceed by its own designs
Nothing to tell
Let the words be yours, I'm done with mine ...
If the game is much more polished and stable from such incidents like this..and the economy is still a mess..thats when an economy wipe would be wise..not now siomply due to..what are you gonna do..OMG WIPE WIPE every time something big happens?
This game hasn't been out for "months" - give it a rest. Wipe the servers, clean up this mess. It will make the Developers (Cryptic, PW) appear much more respectable. You guys screwed the pooch. Fix it. Explain it. Move on.
